    I got told that I looked pregnant by my mother--- after everyone else stated how thin I looked. Such Hatred for losing weight. She then flatly said Merry christmas. Later, she revealed she was mad that I had lost weight because she hadn't been able to lose weight and that I was supposed to be big after having children... LAME

    pancake mix. wow. thats a weird gift. i was lucky. i got gift cards so i can get what i want. the funniest though, was my brother couldnt figure out what to buy hubby and i, he spent so much on my 3 year old, his only nephew and will be his only newphew haha, that he ended up writing us a personal check. i just laughed.

    wow. this was your own mother. not that it is better, but at least if a mother in law said it she has no real connection to you. thats just cruel, no matter what her reason was. so sorry.:flowerforyou:

    A Cold!

    Either that or a ton of candy that my in laws gave me in my stocking. They know I'm trying to get healthier and yet they give me a stocking full of 5000+ calories of candy.

    my team exchanges gifts from secret santas, and i got one packet of hot chocolate mix and fruit snacks taped to a card that said "happy holidays" in black sharpie.

    I understand we are in college, but come on, really?

    I also recieved a bottle of hand soap.

    I would rather people not get me something if it's going to be something they picked up from their own house. It's embaressing for both of us, but the sad thing is, they weren't really ashamed of it... lol

    Honestly, there wasn't anything that I didn't like. Even if there was something that I wouldn't use, I am still thankful for everything and can't really think of anything that I would call the "worst" or even bad. ^-^

    My boyfriend emailed his parents a month before Christmas and specifically asked that they not give us candy, since we're both losing weight at the moment. We unwrapped a jar of chocolate coated coffee beans, a box of hot chocolate, the largest Toblerone I've ever seen and a giant box of turkish delight, along with two pedometers and a self-help book. What the hell I don't even.

    Incidentally, both my in-laws are significantly more overweight than me or my boyfriend.

    Oh, they also gave me a commemorative dishtowel from my boyfriend's high school. Yep.

    Nothing.

    I had a wonderful holiday with my family, and the gifts were modest but good. Can't complain.

    I did, however, get "the talk" about my weight last year and the year before. My mother-in-law actually complemented me this year and said that I look thinner and happier than before, so that's good :)

    I tell people not to get me anything, because I never like any presents anyway. Just send a card - that I like!
    Everything I want I already have, and gifts are never anything I'd get for myself like some horrid shirt or wrinkle free chinos [tacky].

    But somebody always tries anyway.
    This years goose egg turned out to be a pair of very expensive, hand made shoes direct from Milan.
    I hated them - wrong color.....too flat.....wore funny....
    I re-gifted to a worker about that size.

    And then I am flooded with gift cards to chain restaurants I'd never go to like Red Lobster or Olive Garden....
    Those I re-gift to the mail lady, cleaning lady and various other people I run across.
    I do not like gifts.
    I thought the one exception was a 1 hour massage, but I was humiliated with a spontanious errection at the hands of a 63 year old licensed therapist. "OK, turn over"....:noway:

    Anyway, just send me a card, and I'm good. No more gifts - PLEASE!

    At a work gift exchange, I got a bird night light from Cracker Barrel. I couldn't even think of someone to whom I could regift it.

    Nothing! I loved everything i got! I'm always thankful for gifts, even if they're weird or bizarre or something i'd never like or use!

    The only time i couldn't be thankful for a gift if it was hurtful..but i've never had that happen so i'm good!

    Somebody gave one of my sons a slingshot AND three (three!) bags of marbles. Who the heck would think that's a smart gift for a 7yo boy??? I can't believe we haven't had any broken glass and/or injuries yet! :laugh:

    Some chocolate covered nuts from a family member that shall remain nameless. Im severely allergic to nuts and have been my whole life. Not only does this person want to keep me fat they also apparently want to kill me.

    Same here! I got nothing. Although, my 7 year old tried to give me his nerf gun because he was sad that mommy was the only one without a present to open.

    A bottle of drain unblock fluid.

    It's okay though, it was a Secret Santa joke pressie. The back story is I told my colleagues about my landlady who sneeks in to use my shower room when I'm at work, and denies doing so. Trouble is she keeps blocking the drainage with her long, died blonde rat hair.

    I laughed even though I thought, in it's silvery bag, it was going to be Brandy :happy:

    That's the worst part... I had to wrap it myself. In an ace bandage. :wink:

    Even though I loved it, and I needed it, I got my grandmothers food processor. In a gift bag. Dirty. Not the inside, just general grime from sitting up. Like grubby dust. I was still really happy that I got it though!
